I would do the 35's, otherwise it would be almost pointless since there is already no sidewall.

I went with 18`s up front but am only using 245/40/18`s if you use a 275 a 35 would be great. My rears are 315/30/18 remember the 30 is a percentage of the tire width so anything over a305 would be ok to go with a 30
